Sell, openbsd and solaris don't go in for those sissy enhancements, it's all about system V.

I bet sun does it just cause they paid so much for their unix license. Dunno about OpenBSD. Maybe they haven't finished their security audit of that mid-nineties version of date.

One of my favorite things about solaris:

bash-2.03$ cat /bin/false
#!/usr/bin/sh

#ident  "@(#)false.sh   1.6     93/01/11 SMI"   /* SVr4.0 1.3   */
exit 255

crap, i just published it. SCO is going to sue the pants off of me. Better change pants, i like these ones.

That's only for the fancy-pants linux version of 'date' the classic date
doesn't have those functions.

Also the fancy-pants FreeBSD 2.2.8 version of 'date'. And according to strings mine is from the mid nineties!

Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.
